The element which is the main constituent of Diamond, paper etc is Carbon.
Carbon is a non metal with Atomic number 6.
It's electronic configuration: 1s²2s² 2p²
It belongs to 2 period and 14 group
Valency -4- Tetra valent
Carbon to attain nearest inert gas - Helium stability it's need to loose 4 electrons to become C⁺⁴ ion  which is not possible as lot of ionization energy is required and to form C⁻⁴ ion is also not possible as it's atom size is small, hence cannot accommodate more 4 electron.
Thus , carbon involves in sharing of electrons to attain stability by forming strong covalent bonds.
